00:00 The Philippine Coast Guard asked for support from negotiators from various European countries
00:06 amid the ongoing tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
00:09 The PCG believes that with the help of the G7 countries or groups of powerful countries in the world,
00:16 China will also listen.
00:18 For PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Jay Tariella,
00:22 the Chinese government is threatening to arrest fishermen who will trespass their territory.
00:30 As a result, fishermen are constantly being dispatched from the Sambalis to increase our rights in the West Philippine Sea.
00:39 Witness, Marisol Labduraman.
00:46 Following a mass, more than 20 fishermen of the Sambalis were dispatched.
00:54 Their mission was proven by their sister, Efren Furones,
01:01 who was fishing in Bajo de Masilok or Panatagshon in 1995.
01:05 He is angry with China, especially when just two weeks ago, he was almost defeated by the Chinese Navy.
01:11 They didn't fight back. If we don't fight back, it's their fault. If we don't go to Escalburo, it's their fault.
01:19 Ryan Eclid Villa, a 15-year-old minister, was prepared to go to war against China.
01:27 Are you afraid of being caught by China?
01:29 No.
01:30 Why?
01:31 Because it's our territory.
01:33 The group's target is 20 to 30 nautical miles away from here.
01:37 It's a 2 to 3-hour trip. At the same time, their minister is protesting against China.
01:44 They particularly emphasize the Chinese order to stop the Chinese who cross their territory.
01:52 China says that the Philippines should not be concerned with the so-called police if they are not doing anything illegal.
02:00 But there is a lot of debate.
02:01 They don't have a police force and there is no law to enforce any directive on their territory.
02:09 The Department of Justice is also working with the Office of the Solicitor General
02:13 to investigate the environmental case against China,
02:17 in connection with the destruction of the rich sea in the West Philippine Sea.
02:21 We are confident that in a few weeks, our complaint and the attachments will be complete.
02:30 Hopefully, with the help of the Office of the Solicitor General,
02:34 we will be able to file an environmental case against China.
02:38 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Marison Abdurrahman, your witness.
02:45 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
